MOVING THROUGH THE DISTRICT
People need to
move through the
existing and new
neighbourhoods
to transit stops
along Eglinton.
In the Core Study
Area there are
limited paths or
sidewalks for this
to happen.
MAKING A PLACE AROUND TRANSIT Don Mills and Eglinton
has always been a
place between places:
people move through
the area but rarely
stay.
The construction of the
Crosstown and open
sites around the
intersection represents
an exciting city
building opportunity.
TONIGHT’S TASK Circulate through the Open
House and provide feedback on
the study findings and next steps:
- Public Realm and Active Transportation
- Streets and Trails
- Parks and Facilities
- Land Use and Built Form
Tell us what you want to talk
about at future public meetings.
